[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I could have written this post myself. What brought my DH to the table and made him open to "parent coaching" is when my younger son got a diagnosis of ASD. We started working with a parent coach (a psychologist) and it changed their relationship for the better. About a year ago we pivoted to focusing on our older son (now 14); we had a very similar dynamic to what you described. For DH, hearing in the sessions how much their conflict was affecting ME, not just our son, made a big difference in getting DH to open up to changing. Things are not perfect but they are much better.

Honestly, part of the problem is that my husband and older son share so many of the same traits and that is why they butt heads so often.

Our parent coach is with Boston Child Studies Center. They have one office in Boston and one in LA but everything has been entirely on Zoom for us. Our coach has told us that all her parent coaching sessions basically turn into marriage therapy at some point. [/quote]
